Fixed deposits worth Rs 8.77 lakh across several banks and at least Rs. 1.5 lakh in coins was how much a Mumbai beggar was found to be in possession of, post his death.

Birju Chandra Azad, a beggar living in Mumbai’s Govandi, died in an accident on 4 October while crossing the train tracks between Govandi and Mankhurd station.

Following his death, the police found his residence while tracing his relatives in a Govandi slum.

As the police entered his house, they also found a voter identity card, PAN card and Aadhaar card in his name along with the coins and his financial documents.

“Birju Chandra Azad died in an accident while trespassing on railway track between Govandi and Mankhurd station,” a senior police officer told NDTV.

The police will now contact the respective banks to keep fixed deposits safe and is currently tracing his relatives.
